Global Expedition Vehicles, which specializes in custom overlanding vehicles, created the Pangea RV that can be built on medium-duty trucks from brands like Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner Trucks.

The Pangea has amenities that can be found in any non-mobile home, such as a kitchen, a dining area, a bathroom, and several beds. But unlike traditional homes, the roof of the Pangea can be hydraulically lifted, giving the tiny home a 10-foot interior height and access to the lofted beds.

In total, the tiny home on wheels is 8 feet wide and 17 feet long, although customers can request the length to be extended up to 25 feet. The interior dimensions of the tiny home falls just a bit shorter with a length of 16.3 feet, width of 7.3 feet, and height of 6.3 feet from the floor to the bottom of the lofted bed.

This isn’t the only build from Missouri-based Global Expedition Vehicles: the company has at least nine other builds – not including custom designs – including the UXV-MAX which, along with the Pangea, starts at $650,000.

For safe entry at night, there is a motion-sensing LED light by the entryway door — which also includes a three-point lock — that automatically turns on.

The overlander has vinyl flooring, and white fiberglass walls and a ceiling that is easy to clean, according to Global Expedition Vehicles.

Storage can be found throughout the Pangea. This includes the cabinets above the dining booth and rear storage compartments.

For the RV enthusiasts who also double as foodies, the Pangea has a kitchen with every traditional kitchen amenity.

There's also an option to include a steam oven or to convert the single or double induction cooktop to a diesel base.

The kitchen’s custom cabinets and drawers allow for cookware and pantry staple storage.

The kitchen's 120-volt outlets allow cooks to use plug-in kitchen tools, like a blender.

Meals made in the kitchen can be eaten at the dining booth that can seat six people.

The dining area can be converted into a 60-inch by 80-inch bed.

The tiny home on wheels comes with a heater, air conditioner, and roof fan that regulates the temperature of the home, which is already insulated with closed-cell foam.
